HICKORY – Hickory Motor Speedway officials announced that tickets are now on sale for The Knights of Destruction event slated for June 3.

This is the sixth consecutive appearance for The Knights of Destruction at HMS and it has sold out for the last four years.

This is the first of two appearances, the second slated for Oct. 14 and the second straight season the series has made two appearances in the same year at HMS.

“We made the decision last year to add a second date last year and this year,” HMS general manager Kevin Piercy said. “The reasons we decided to add two dates is it has become so popular that by adding a second event is makes it convenient for fans to see the show.”

The schedule includes school bus racing, the gunslinger monster truck, ballistic, monster truck, the green mamba jet car, trailer race, demolition derby, car soccer, fireworks and more.

“This is a whole different animal to what our normal racing is,” Piercy said. “Everybody likes to see something torn up and they run multiple races. This has grown each year to where we have a lot more competitors come in to run the flag-pole race, skid-car race and other things.”

The event will start at 7 p.m.
